Personally, I think that a consortium led by VISA/AMEX/Mastercard 
should have been chosen to run the US elections.

We would have the results 15 minutes after the polls close and it would 
be accurate down to the penny (vote).

There would be an audit trail and anyone confused about their vote 
could call an 800-number and read the voting code on their paper 
receipt (like the approval code on your Visa receipt) and have an 
assurance that their vote was properly recorded.  There are relatively 
simple ways to double-blind this kind of data so that no one person can 
figure out who voted for which candidate so that it cannot be abused.

Course Democrats will never go for it ... Philly had larger than 
average turnout among key constituencies including dead voters, I 
suppose - just like in 2000 and 2004 when 108% of registered voters 
actually voted.

I expect PA will get even more refugees from NY and MA and NJ... which 
will in turn change PA from "purple" to "blue" in the coming years.
